From the mountain terminal of Preunegg-Jet you start your hike passing by Gasselhöh'-Hütte and Reiteralmhütte chalets. Shortly walk along Reiteralmstraße road and after a few 100 meteres turn off left on trail n° 772. Alternatively reach this turn-off via the "Summer Snow Walk".
Via alpine meadows and through forest you start your descent to the valley on trail n° 772 towards Almdorf Reiteralm and Almwelt Austria. While descending you cross forest roads several times and also walk across Reiteralmstraße 3 times until you reach Almdorf Reiteralm.
Passing by Almdorf Reiteralm on Reiteralmstraße road you then turn off left and take the trail through the forest which takes you again to Reiteralmstraße road a bit further downhill. From here you follow the road and in a couple of minutes you will reach the valley terminal of Preunegg-Jet cable-car.
Alternative to Pichl
sporty hikers hike further into the valley to Pichl. Briefly follow Preuneggstraße northwards - past Gasthof Bankwirt. At the bend, turn right onto the hiking trail and head downhill through the forest until you reach Preuneggstraße again. Follow the road briefly until the hiking trail branches off into the forest again just after the next bend. From here, the forest path leads into the narrow ditch of the Preuneggbach stream and to the Weitgasserhof farm on the valley floor.
Here you can either walk straight ahead to Café Hermann or left over the Heißhof and the Ennsbrücke bridge to the Freizeitstüberl at the Freizeitpark Pichl. Once you reach the bottom of the valley, you have now earned some refreshments.
